Kenji Ishida, a hobby robot
researcher from Kashiwa, in Japan's Chiba Prefecture, is the first to build and market a
remote-control car that is 'more than meets the eye'.

The robot, which appears not to be endorsed in any way by Transformers' maker Hasbro, and is simply called Transform Robot Version 7.2, can convert from a cool looking 1/12 scale RC car into a robot hero in seconds.

And that's not all, it also comes equipped with a rocket launcher in each arm, working lights, and a WiFi camera that allows users to follow its exploits.
